About me

Depression can be a very isolating and lonely place to live in. Finding the right counsellor can be quite daunting. Your new life can begin, once you take those first steps in getting the help you require.

Counselling helps, by allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings without being judged. Helping you to unlock emotions that could have possibly been hidden for many years..

As well as talking therapy, (which is popular within my practice) I also offer another alternative therapy, which is Creative Therapy Counselling.

This form of therapy, is very helpful for clients, who find being placed in the "spotlight", really difficult to handle. Just by my clients focusing on something other than themselves, enables them to explore what's really going on for them inside much more effectively.

Creative Therapies has nothing to do with how good you are at: Art, drawing, writing etc.What is important to me is the thoughts & feelings behind the piece you have created.

Focussing on something else, can achieve amazing results, within such a short space of time. This way of working I can offer you both 1-1 or within a group work setting.

Group Work consists of, a small group of clients, working within the same group throughout the 6wk course. The benefits of working in a small group, are seeing others also in a vulnerable state, and having that feeling that you are not alone.

Today is a new day, contact me if you want my help. Do not struggle in silence anymore.

Training, qualifications & experience

Other than having my Diploma in counselling & human relations, I also went on to study Creative Therapy, successfully receiving my certificate from P.T.U.K, (Play Therapy UK).

Through my time as a counsellor, this form of therapy has helped so many clients.

One example of feedback I was given is: "I didn't feel like I was in the spotlight! I didn't have to explain myself if I didn't want to"

Creative Therapy, promotes healing on a much more deeper level. It has NOTHING to do with how good you are as an artist, the most important factor is what it brings up for you.

An example of being creative: If I was to ask you to draw/write/paint your face of how others see you, would that face/person be the same as you feel inside? You are the expert on yourself, no one else.

FEEDBACK RESPONSES:

What brought you to Counselling?

"I was struggling with what I thought was the two bereavements in my family in the space of a month at the beginning of the year."

Whilst in therapy did you feel you have learnt anything about yourself? If so what?

"I feel that I have learnt a lot about myself especially when it comes to my own self confidence and reliance on others. I also learnt that the issues that I thought I was suffering from were totally different to the issues which were actually making me feel low".

If there is anything you would have changed about the sessions, if so what would that have been?

"I would not have changed the sessions".

If any of your friends or colleagues sought Counselling would your therapist be someone who you would recommend? Please explain a little further why you would or why you wouldn't recommend your therapist?

"Yes I would certainly recommend Jules I felt that she understood what I was trying to say. Even when I thought I was talking in riddles and not much sense she understood my perspective and managed to find the underlying issue".

Is there anything that you may like to add within your feedback, that is not asked in the questions above:

"Thank you for all the help and support your provided me with. You were a god send."

" I find it very difficult to talk just in general. Jules allowed me the space to feel it was ok to take my time. Trusting someone has always been very difficult for me. I have never been used to talking about my problems, it's always been me that everyone comes to. She just "GOT" it, and I thank her so much for that" Highly Recommend
